Spending time with the Family

As the van unloaded, Khaat and Brian picked up their backpacks and went inside. Khaat was starting to need to stretch a bit and walk. She was feeling a bit stiff and achy from hours of sitting. She went into the living room and put her pack down on the floor. She took a few minutes to stretch out her stiff muscles, using a lot of the same exercises that Brian had taught her years ago when she had taken up running. She looked at saw he had decided to copy her, putting his backpack beside hers and had joined her in stretching.

They had travelled together enough to know that the worst thing they could do right now, even being tired, was to go to bed in the afternoon. That would never help them get through the jet lag. Brian seemed to read her mind because he conjured two cups of french roast and handed one to her. She figured there would be a lot more where that came from before the next morning rolled around.

"Coffee and then a run?" Brian asked her.

"You read my mind," Khaat said. "So long as we don't get lost. I would hate for Jess to have to come looking for us. That would be really embaressing."

"We've never gotten lost before," he laughed. "Not just out on a run. I think we'll do fine. But coffee first. Something to eat?"

"Afterwards," she stifled a yawn that slipped out. "Maybe a lot of coffee." She opened her backpack and drew out a pair of black running capris and a plain pink tee shirt and a pair of running shoes. They were still "Barbie doll" sized. She drew her wand and returned them to their original size. Then she decided to sit back and enjoy her coffee before she did much of anything else.

Mariana had fallen in a light sleep on Khaat's shoulder like she assumed she would when she heard Jess's voice calling them like from the distance. Her yawn was so loud that she hardly managed to cover it with her hand. Her feet slipped out of the van behind Jess as she grabbed her backpack hardly managing to make a difference between her backpack and the seat for the moment.

"Great i don't think i;ll be able to go any further then your couch right now..." Mari replied as she got to the lugage and put her suitcase on the ground with a large BANG since she didn't really make any difference between holding and not holding the suitcase.

Her eyes passed from Brian to Khaat with a great doubt like they just announced they were going to climb to Mount Everest. "Coffee? Running? Well good luck..." she said as she finally sat on the couch and fallen alseep there like she knew she would not even bothering to put her backpack down which slipped as her butt touched Jess's couch.

Andrew was tense for the entire trip. He hated close spaces, he hated the van, he pretty much hated the whole country at that moment because of so many things he hated. He didn't care if it was the country's fault or not, he hated it. The entire trip had Andrew rapdily tapping his foot, nearly shaking the entire car in the process. He gripped onto the door handle feeling like he should pull the lever and jump out, going at 40 miles an hour. It'd be a fitting death for him and rather preferred it over staying in some cramped up little car.

He nearly chewed Jess's head off when he began to speed up at the harbour. Was he daft?! He was freaking outta his mind and he had the nerve to go faster?! Every passing second tempted Andrew more and more to just roll outside and use his broom to follow them. Frankly, he didn't think of the consequences, he just wanted out. Now.

Once they finally reached their destination, Andrew immediatly opened the door, not even waiting for the car to stop, and worked up a nice run, trying to keep up with his own momentum. He closed the car door, nearly slamming it, and ran out to the open space. Jesus, it was over. THANK YOU! he said in his mind, not talking to anyone particular. He turned his back and looked over to the small van and watched everyone pile out.

"I am never getting back in that thing," he said his voice sounding a lot more like demanding "I am sick of the closed spaces." He then marched over to the door that led into the house and quickly rushed to the kitchen, trying to calm himself down. He was usually cool and collect, but could not handle the small spaces anymore. Once again, he was thinking about what had caused him to get the sudden case of claustrophobia, but was more concerned about the adrenaline coursing through his veins.

Belle got out of the van and felt empathy for poor Andrew, she understood when a fear took over you she herself hated tight spaces but over the years had learned to find ways to deal with them. She turned to Andrian with a tired smile, the baby had settled and she was not nearly as hungry as she had been. Really all she wanted was to crawl into bed with her husband and get some sleep.

She turned that same sleepy smile on Jess as she walked passed him, patting his arm. "Thank you Jess for allowing us to stay in your home."

Then she went on into the house and found an empty room. She took her boots off but did not manage much else as she laid back onto the soft pillows and fell sound asleep.

OOC: I missed a lot...

On the trip from the Airport, to Jess' place. Andrian had fallen fast asleep on the seat beside Bell, he was rather tired and needed a lot of sleep. Suddenly, when he heard the door slamming into his face, he jumped with fright and fltutered his eyes open, pushing himself onto the seat, and started wiping his droools for his face then looked around anxiously for the source of the noise only to find Andrew standing outside the door with a huge wave of relief washing over his face. Andrian couldn't help but symphatise about him and how many things he had to go through, losing his brother, fighting a huge battle and seeing people die before his eyes and fighting a vampire. He was way to young to be dealing with all this, yet he still did it anyway. Andrian sighed and let the subject go for a moment, he would have to try and have a chat wit him later or soon. Then he started to step out of the car, yawning quietly as he stretched himself out and followed Bell into the room. "Enjoying the trip, so far?" he asked, smiling at her, kissing her cheek as he wrapped his arm around and placing his hand on her stomach, holding the baby with his hand.

(Sorry it so bad)

Bell sighed as she snuggled into her husband. "Yes love i am. Though i bet I will enjoy it more once i have slept. And you?" She asked in a tired voice.

Andrian could feel the tiredness behind her voice, she needed some sleep, it had been a long trip. "Sleepy.." he replied to her as he looked at her, letting a small chuckle escape his lips and smiled at her as he dropped his head on her shoulder and wrapped his arm around her, closing his eyes for a few second, . "Daddy need some sleep," he mummered into her ears with a hint of exshaution in his voice.

Belle nodded her head and sight in content as he laid his head on her shoulder. "Good night love." She whispered before falling into a deep sleep.

Andrian couldn't help but notice that things weren't going exactly the way he wanted to happen. Usually, she'd laugh and try and put him down to sleep. He frowned slightly, sighing with irritation and uncertainty in the back of his head and started looked away after taking a long good look at her. Then he walked over to the tea scented candle that was sitting on a table acrss the room which lit up the whole room, feeling it with the smell of apple and cinamon as he lit it with a match. He then turned off the light and take off his shirt, revealing his muscular body figure as he climbed into the bed.

He closed his eyes as he laid down beside her, putting his arm around her. Andrian couldn't get to sleep at the moment, he was starting to get worried about his relationship but suddenly and idea came across his mind, so he started to place his lips nears her ears and started singing, softly in her ears.

Belle felt herself coming out of her slumber. At first she did not know what it was that was calling her out of sleep but then she reconized Andrian's voice singing softly to her. She opened her eyes and turned to lay on her back so she could look up at him.

A full lips turned up into a soft smile as she listened to him. Her heart growing with pride and love in her husband. When the song was done she kissed him softly. "That was beautiful love." She said softly.
